“I had no choice,” Bernard sighed, “so I told him: the day you can finally beat me, I’ll tell you who killed my wife. I even promised to help him get revenge.”
“He took it to heart,” Bernard continued, his eyes distant. “He threw himself into training, worked harder than ever. For a while, it looked like he finally had something to live for. But…”
Bernard’s gaze drifted off to the horizon, and he let out a long, weary breath.
“The truth is, I still have no idea who the killer is. I’ve been trying to figure it out for years, but they covered their tracks too well. There’s not a single clue left behind.”
“If I can’t get to the bottom of it, there’s no way my brother could.”
“So all I could do was keep my distance. I didn’t want to see him.”
“Nothing good comes from us meeting. Only pain.”
“If I don’t know the murderer’s name, I can’t let him win. But if he loses, he gets angry and desperate. It’s a lose-lose situation…”
Tarquin and Evan listened quietly, neither of them interrupting. After a while, Tarquin spoke up:
“You know, since you’ve been hiding out here, it’s not exactly easy for you to investigate. But if you trust me, I can give it a shot. I can’t make any promises, but I’ve got contacts overseas—old friends, people who owe me favors. It might be easier for me to dig around.”
Bernard turned to Tarquin, his brow furrowed in thought. He was silent for a moment, then exhaled heavily. “Let’s talk about it later.”
He didn’t know who the killer was, but he was certain it had something to do with foreign fighters.
If Tarquin started poking around, he might get himself targeted.
Bernard didn’t want the younger generation getting tangled up in this mess.
“You just focus on living a good life with Elysia. Raise those kids right. Try to stay out of trouble as much as you can.”
Bernard’s eyes softened as he looked at Evan. “Now you know why I always tell you—keep a low profile when you’re out there. If you need to teach someone a lesson, fine, but don’t draw too much attention to yourself.”
Evan scrunched up his little nose, frowning. He felt bad for Bernard. He even felt bad for the old scarred man whose life had been torn apart.
